600m Tall Under Construction In Tianjin

Published on 17-11-2008 by Skyscrapernews.com
Unlike the fanfare of Dubai there has been barely a whisper, but a new 600 metre tall tower is now under construction in the Chinese city of Tianjin.

Named China 117 Tower after the number of storeys within the building, the scheme is being developed by Hong Kong based developer, Goldin Properties, who plan on their scheme truly dominating the city of Tianjin with it's 11 and a half million population.

The tower has been designed by an as yet unnamed architect. It will contain 406,000 square metres of internal space with floors 1 to 92 consisting of offices and the upper part of the tower from levels 93 to 117 due to be occupied by an as yet unnamed six star hotel operator.

In total the tower will cost $820 million US to construct, although this budget goes up to $1.2 billion when the mall it will stand above is also included.

The scale of this is enormous with the mall due to boast some 316,000 square metres of space - this is about two thirds of the floor-space of the Pentagon in Washington DC but still less than half the current largest shopping mall in China, South China Mall and not enough to even make the global top 10.

Once completed China 117 Tower will be the tallest building in the country over 100 metres taller than Shanghai World Financial Centre. This is a record it will hold until Gensler's planned 632m tall Shanghai Centre goes up in the city it takes its name from recapturing them the title.

That's a really generic-looking tower. Just a clone of the IFC with some fins stuck on the top.

Height is impressive, but with so many other supertalls around these days, it won't really stand out.

(just my first impression...)

[LeMoN-SK]

WOW! So tall and I didn't hear of it before?

I like the design, great for Tianjin! :okay:

[malec]

Under construction? I'm going to change to proposed until some pictures come out.

[z0rg]

Under construction? I'm going to change to proposed until some pictures come out.

It is u/c according to the press... If you want, just change it to "Prep" until we get some pics.

[Foglio1986]

Tianjin's future will be is worth anticipating

[c0kelitr0]

IFC + LOTR tower combined :D

[Rizzato]

China is going absolutely crazy with towers.. since when do we have 570 meter towers pop up, with no warning :nuts:
sadly, the design is lacking and seems rushed. But the height is just crazy

[CarlosBlueDragon]

wow... new supertall in tianjin!! now U/C??

[Lawcheehung]

Wow, the height on 117 is huge! I don't think the design looks that bad either.

[krzewi]

U/C and any photos a bulid?

[SpaceScraper]

I have mixed reactions to the fins on top. Maybe if they do some creative night time lighting on them, I will like them more.

[BarbaricManchurian]

Where in Tianjin is this tower? So is this in Tianjin city or east of it, in the Binhai New Area?

Looks nice, but seems like its in a high-tech zone, just going to stand by itself, not as a part of a skyline. Tianjin really need to catch up on supertall construction, it's a huge city next to the coast and barely has any skyscrapers compared to Beijing, Dalian, or even Shijiazhuang.

[malec]

It is u/c according to the press... If you want, just change it to "Prep" until we get some pics.

A ground breaking ceremony means nothing. In Dubai projects you have the ground breaking ceremony with all the big top guys sticking a shovel in the ground, then 6 months later the first excavator arrives.

[z0rg]

So is this in Tianjin city or east of it, in the Binhai New Area? And if it's in the city, where in the city is it? NanJing Lu, another place in downtown, or outside of downtown?

Wow, I was waiting for you to post further info about this project, man :D

According to the articles I posted, the project is at 天津高新区. Do you know where is it? Never heard of that area, but I guess it is not in the city center, so I guess it is NOT the 500m+ project proposed in Nanjing Lu.

What a big surprise, huh? I bet you didn't expect you'll find out that your city is building China's tallest skyscraper when you got up this morning :D

[BarbaricManchurian]

Ok I found where this supertall will be built, in 天津高新区 (Tianjin high-tech industrial park zone), in Huayuan Industry Park in Southwest Tianjin, very close to Nankai district where I live in China.

Here's the alibaba report on the industrial park: http://resources.alibaba.com/book/industrypark/detail/31291/Tianjin_High_tech_Park_including_Tianjin_Huayuan_Software_Development_Park_.htm

And here's the industrial park website in English: http://business.thip.gov.cn/english/index.asp

[ZZ-II]

wow, what a great tower. hope we'll see some updates soon :)

[BarbaricManchurian]

Here's some photos of the high-tech industrial park in which this supertall will be located:

WOW. that building is gona stand out. there are no tall building at all there

[decks67]

it looks like a ghost town, theres no one on the streets

[Astounded]

According to SSP Tianjin has 15 skyscrapers under construction or built including two supertalls. There are another five more proposed including this one, four of these are supertalls. Like most Chinese cities it is rapidly growing as people move in from the countryside. Population in 2004 was 10 million, must be a lot more now.

[kix111]

^^i never trusted ssp, nor other sites

they dont update as often

[foxmulder]

wow. It reminds me the tower in HK. (I am a newbe i dont know the name of that building in HK, but I know you know:D ) It is nice and its high is impressive. I guess all of that area is a new development project. Everything looks brand new from pictures.

would be nice as twin towers ;)

Is it really U/C? When do they want to finish it?

They wrote on Skyscrapers.cn that they want to build a 77 floor twin tower project next to this one:


项目除了有八十万平方米写字楼面积，包括一百一十七层高的「高银中国117广场」、两幢七十七层高双子星写字楼大厦及多幢甲级写字楼大厦外，还有二十万平方米商场连接一起；另外，有六十万平方米的住宅，休闲设施包括国内第一个马球会，以及国际学校。更为特别的是，项目将附有政府办公大楼，可以让市政府机构进驻租用，方便进行招商，这套理念得到市政府的认同，而且十分支持该项发展计划，已列为天津市二十个重点项目之一。

Well it's tall, but it seems generic.

^^Exactly.
I don't like the thinness of this building either.

Haha awesome.

Looks pretty IMO. But I don't understand why do they want to build a supertall right there. The skyline of the city shown on the picture is appealing, but I don't see a purpose of building such a big structure right there.

But w/e I don't really care that much. =/

[Jim856796]

Is the industrial park full of lowrise buildings? Are there any high-rises in the park?

[Zollern]

Could we clarify: was the groundbreaking ceremony for the tower itself, or for the industrial park of which the tower will (or may) form a part?

[khoojyh]

this building might stimulate others supertall to be build in here.... just my opinion...

[BarbaricManchurian]

Is the industrial park full of lowrise buildings? Are there any high-rises in the park?

There's a ~20 story building in the industrial park if you consider that a highrise (http://business.thip.gov.cn/upload/photo/p38_IMG_0741.JPG). Other then that, the rest of the industrial park is lowrise (under 10 stories).

Could we clarify: was the groundbreaking ceremony for the tower itself, or for the industrial park of which the tower will (or may) form a part?

It was for the tower itself. The industrial park existed for a few years already.

[Cristobal_illo]

But this tower is now U/C ??

[BarbaricManchurian]

But this tower is now U/C ??

Yes. (can a mod change it to U/C?, the groundbreaking ceremony is well documented)

[z0rg]

Yes. (can a mod change it to U/C?, the groundbreaking ceremony is well documented)

Groundbreaking ceremony doesn't mean real start of construction, it is just a ceremony. We'll not change the title until we see some images of the construction works.

Some projects are started months after the groundbreaking ceremony takes place.

[khoojyh]

yeah, thats true !!! groundbreaking doesnt mean the construction start immediately, but any schedule show the construction start date?
i do really hope this building get build and finish as soon as possible.

[TowerJunkie]

Hong Kong International Finance Center with fins.

That's not exactly true, as it's kind of an old picture. Now, that area is home to about 7 or 8 buildings around the same size, with a few more being constructed. Still, nothing even close to 50 or 60 floors needed to blend this tower in to the surrounding area a bit.

[Clashman]

To prove my point, I tried to go up onto the roof of my apartment building and take some pictures, but unfortunately, it was locked. A few floors down in the stairwell, though, I found a window that didn't have this terrible screen on it, and was able to take this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y188/Clashman99/Tianjin/P1030126.jpg

In here, you can see the old building listed in the picture above, as well as a few similarly sized buildings around it. If you squint real hard, you can see a few cranes going up in the background.

[null]

I found that the investor is Matsunichi Hi-Tech Ltd

Matsunichi(松日) is a Chinese Company with a Japanese name,weird:nuts:

http://www.matsunichi.com.cn/

[decks67]

i still find it strange that they are building a supertall building which will be taller then anything in shanghai, hong kong or tokyo and most of the of any large city in the world

[ZZ-II]

and it is absolutely great they don't use a spire to reach that height :)

[Phil_Oldfield]

Has anyone got any idea who is the architect and who is the developer for this project?

[davee08]

locatied at Huayuan Industry Park the project is being developed by Matsunichi Hi-Tech (Hong Kong) and the groundbreaking ceremony took place on December 12 2007

[Buyckske Ruben]

Are there any updates of the works that are going on, on the site?

[Clashman]

I was there a last week, but forgot to bring my camera. The location is strange, but it is within walking distance of the under-contruction subway line, so at least it isn't completely isolated. There are a couple of medium-height, 25-30 story structure nearby. The site itself looked like it was still just in the beginning stages. They were starting to assemble a crane, but they hadn't really dug down much at all. It still looked like they were doing mostly site prep, as there weren't a whole lot of workers on hand. I'll go back this weekend if I have a chance and try to snap a few shots.

[chang023836]

the top 4 leafs seems not nice, and will bear high speed wind -_-b

check emporis

tianjin is a very large city, 5th largest to be exact. it is a city of over 5mil

there are 217 buildings under construction per emporis, and 170 completed

the tallest building currently is 203 m at 48 stories tall, there is already a taller building being constructed at 337 m at 76 stories

this is a great project for this city, cant wait to see it get built

Yup, check Emporis, even this 500m+ tower is ignored. This is a good example to show how crappy that website is when covering Chinese projects.

New design? Doesn't look like 2IFC anymore.

^^... new design..ok!!

[Assemblage23]

If I'm not wrong, the new design has a lower roof heigth than the original design.

[ZZ-II]

height should be the same

too simple i think.

[flying tackle]

simple is good...its just too thin for its surroundings

[ZZ-II]

exactly, the simple design is that what i love on this tower :)....570m straight up to the sky!

[Captain_Skyhawk_22]

I don't like it, just like Barwa Tower in Doha I think the desing is too simple and boring (let me clear out that I like Barwa Tower ten times more than this supertall). The funny thing is that the tower will be build in China when actually it looks more like an Arab design don't you think?

EDIT: SORRY I didn't see the new render... it looks much nicer! I still think is simple but not in a bad way I think. Good for Tianjin.

[Clashman]

Here's a couple of construction photos, taken today. I wasn't able to go in and get closer photos, because I made the stupid mistake of asking them if I could take them. Next time, just walk in and pretend I don't understand a thing.

These are the two tallest buildings in the area near the 117 site. As you can probably tell, they aren't going to help it "blend in" all that much.

[Clashman]

I'll say that the site has come a long way in the last few weeks. Before, they were mostly just doing site prep, and setting up a single crane. Now, they've got a bunch of them, and there is a huge hold going into the ground.

[Clashman]

By the way, can we change the status of this to "Under Construction"?

[vanhenrik]

this bulding is rely stunning ! maybe 1 year left to se it starts to rise ! :)

[ZZ-II]

By the way, can we change the status of this to "Under Construction"?

yes, i think the title can be changed :)

[scalziand]

So this building has piles in the ground already? woot.

[BarbaricManchurian]

Clashman, is this on 卫津南路, or more in the center of the industrial park?

[z0rg]

Wow!!!! Good job, Clashman. Doesn't look too isolated, don't you think?

[Clashman]

It's location isn't on Weijin Nan Lu, (I'm not aware of a supertall planned for that street, are you?). It's not too far off of Yingshui Dao, in Hua Yuan. It's on the corner of Kai Hua Dao and Meiyuan Lu:

http://ditu.google.cn/?ie=UTF8&ll=39.091566,117.125759&spn=0.031576,0.080338&z=14

(You have to zoom in a bit to see Meiyuan Lu written down)

It's not completely isolated, no. But it's still a bit weird. If you look at the map, it's at the very, very edge of the city. But I suppose with the subway line going in nearby, it could be worse.

[skyperu34]

Interesting, but im not convinced about its top part...

[oliver999]

i still find it strange that they are building a supertall building which will be taller then anything in shanghai, hong kong or tokyo and most of the of any large city in the world

tianjin is a speicial city in china, we have only 4 speicial city: beijing,shanghai,chongqing and tianjin.:)

so its in china huhh..?

[BarbaricManchurian]

Thanks, Clashman. I'm not aware of any supertall planned for wei jin nan lu, as its mostly low-rise villas and townhouses. I was mistaken as I thought that the road was close to Huayuan (haven't been checking my maps lately :lol:)

[dodge321]

Are they really building this? If its 570m when completely it'll be by far the tallest building in China, but it seems quite low profiled.

Plus its in Tianjin? I don't even think Tianjin even has supertalls and all of a sudden they're building a 570m supertall...just seems a little out of the blue.

Btw love the design, clean and simple :)

The City has been neglected ever since it recieved the self governing status. Now that Shanghai and Beijing has had their turns, it's time for Tianjin to play catch up.

It really is a very important costal port city.

I really hope they can get rid of the fins on the top......

[Chevin]

I really hope they can get rid of the fins on the top......

I think they should keep it, otherwise it'll look too much like 2IFC....

[Clashman]

it will the the tallest building in china, but only for a short time...the Shanghai Center will be much taller

Do you have news about the Shanghai Center? I'm not familiar with that project.

[z0rg]

^^ The design and the height for the Shanghai Center haven't been released, but all renders seem to be above 500m, some of them as high as 750m~. According to a worker of the project who writes on ss.cn, the final design was supposed to be announced on April 18, but it has been delayed again as they want to make it taller.

BTW, they posted a thread (http://www.bohaibbs.org/thread-39646-1-1.html) saying that China 117 tower might be revised to 600m.

[FM 2258]

This tower is sleek and beautiful. I like it and am glad it's under construction.

[CULWULLA]

wow, nearly 100m higher then ICC. huge.
yet another to add to 400m+ diagrams.
cheers

[HiTOPHi]

I think they should keep it, otherwise it'll look too much like 2IFC....

I know. That is the dilemma. Even with the fins, it looks 95% the same as 2IFC ..Hopefully they will eventually figure out a better crown to put on the top.

[Densetsu]

I know. That is the dilemma. Even with the fins, it looks 95% the same as 2IFC ..Hopefully they will eventually figure out a better crown to put on the top.

thats why i used 2IFC facade for China 117 Tower's model. :D:lol:

The height had been modified to 600m?

[giovani kun]

are you shure..this is a great news :)

[Densetsu]

If its going to be 600 meters, it will be a hardcore supertall. :D

[buildmilehightower]

The body of the tower's almost identical to the 2 international commerce centre in HK.

[ZZ-II]

Two international FINANCE center :D

This is the construction start ceremony 9.10.08, 6 months ago was the ground breaking ceremony, and now the foundation has been layed, vertical construction will commence! 77 story twins confirmed next to this project, 600,000m2 residential space, and 200,000m2 commercial space!

Also, the height has been raised to 600m.

[Rutger1991]

Great news, another 600m !!!!!!!! ^^

:cheer:

[ZZ-II]

wonderful, 600m :cheers:

[buildmilehightower]

600 is incredible, and now we can see this modified 2 international finance center rise soon. But only 32 metres shorter than the shanghai center, but this tower is ready to rise and will finish way ahead of shanghai center and therefore when built it will be the tallest in China.

Has this tower always been twin tower or have I read it wrong?

[BarbaricManchurian]

^^The twin towers next to the main tower were added after the announcement, seems like they're transitioning from making it a lonely tower into a new CBD.

[big-dog]

great update BarbaricManchuian. Can't wait to see its ground breaking.

[bonivison]

really really don't like its crown

[skyscraper100]

this is the tallest in china when finished, right?

[big-dog]

this is the tallest in china when finished, right?

I think Shanghai Center (580m or 630m) is taller though I don't know which one will be finished first.

[z0rg]

^^ Shanghai Center is 632m. Shenzhen Ping An Center will be 600m~ too they say.

[buildmilehightower]

^^ true true, two taller skyscrapers so far in hands of China, but this tower will be at least temporaily the tallest in China when completed.

[Buyckske Ruben]

OMG another 600m craper!!!

:nuts: :nuts: :nuts:

How much 600m crapers we have now in the world!!! I think more then 20.

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

[Capn Jef]

This one is not 600m.

[skyscraper100]

the height has been raised to 600m ;)

[serendip finder]

I do not like the design at all. Too thin and simple shaft.

The top is really wierd, worse than a bad crown.

China has a lot of good-looking supertalls. This is not one of them.

[z0rg]

Any official source about the revision?

[CarlosBlueDragon]

wow... 600m!! Congratulations :)
I like be 611m and GZ TV Tower :D

[z0rg]

Everyone on ss.cn says it is, and there's not much media covering it, so unlikely to get an official source for a while...they were right about the 77 floor twins so I give a 99% chance they are right on this. Can you change it to 600m please?


No official source for the 77 twins either, right? Rumours are just rumours even if people believe them, can't change till we get some official release, or at least a render showing project clearly higher or anything.

Remember that ss.cn guy who said the Shanghai Center would be 800m+. He claimed he had access to official sources, and many people believed him. Then what? It happens all the time.

[buildmilehightower]

I do not like the design at all. Too thin and simple shaft.

The top is really wierd, worse than a bad crown.

It will most likely modify design slightly during the construction anyway.

Very impressive height.

[buildmilehightower]

that side building is just like any other apartment blocks in China...

[z0rg]

Any info about the architect or the final height?

[buildmilehightower]

^^ don;t know any, but found new drawing of the building at http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?buildingID=74400, nothing surprising.

[SilentStrike]

the new (grey) drawing is a lot better.

ppl still call it 117 tower cus it has 117 floors, if the height was raised by 30 meters some floors should be added too right?

[BarbaricManchurian]

that side building is just like any other apartment blocks in China...

No, the design is much better. I'd love if every apartment block in China was as good as this one, it's even better than most apartments in Hong Kong. This development will be impressive when finished, but they seem to be taking their time...

[NightKnight]

This is not the side building of 117 tower,just a normal apartment block in Huanyuan residential area.
Huanyuan is a very large area,including several functional zones,117 tower is located in the industrial zone which is outside the outer ring road.

Here are some infos about this apartment block.

http://tj.focus.cn/votehouse/1196.html

[skyperu34]

600 meters sounds great now !!! It could be a bit taller (perhaps 620m.) so it surpasses proposed height of Pentominium at least...

Isn't 117 tower right next to the terminus of metro line 3, which is inside the outer ring road? It sounds like you are in Tianjin, perhaps you can shed some light on everything going on in the project (I haven't went to the project site yet, too inconvenient).

[Sentient Seas]

Great design! And 117 floors? Awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Actually,the terminus of metro line 3 is outside the outer ring road,close to new campus of Tianjin Normal University.

As for this project, It's too far away from my apartment,I just google it sometimes.

[antovador]

wow this design with "diamond" is much better than the previous one :cheers:

[Densetsu]

I also like the diamond. Now, it looks less like 2IFC but more like Burj Al Alam. :D

[SilentStrike]

really curious about the crown, new proposal looks rly good

[buildmilehightower]

much much better improvement of the design. Until I see the top of diamond, I can't judge whether it looks like one but it looks awesome from below. It must glow bright and bright enough to light the city at night. U/C already is real contrast to thinking this would never get built 2 months ago.

600m Tall Under Construction In Tianjin

Published on 17-11-2008 by Skyscrapernews.com
Unlike the fanfare of Dubai there has been barely a whisper, but a new 600 metre tall tower is now under construction in the Chinese city of Tianjin.

Named China 117 Tower after the number of storeys within the building, the scheme is being developed by Hong Kong based developer, Goldin Properties, who plan on their scheme truly dominating the city of Tianjin with it's 11 and a half million population.

The tower has been designed by an as yet unnamed architect. It will contain 406,000 square metres of internal space with floors 1 to 92 consisting of offices and the upper part of the tower from levels 93 to 117 due to be occupied by an as yet unnamed six star hotel operator.

In total the tower will cost $820 million US to construct, although this budget goes up to $1.2 billion when the mall it will stand above is also included.

The scale of this is enormous with the mall due to boast some 316,000 square metres of space - this is about two thirds of the floor-space of the Pentagon in Washington DC but still less than half the current largest shopping mall in China, South China Mall and not enough to even make the global top 10.

Once completed China 117 Tower will be the tallest building in the country over 100 metres taller than Shanghai World Financial Centre. This is a record it will hold until Gensler's planned 632m tall Shanghai Centre goes up in the city it takes its name from recapturing them the title.

[big-dog]

is it the real design with the diamond? first-time seen it.

[buildmilehightower]

^^ it is very recent and new render. Its much better looking from underneath but we're yet to see view of the possible diamond looking thing from above. But this will be taller than SWFC and freedom tower which would be an enormous achievement for China and Tianjin.

[BlackSmith!]

Nice, a 600m box with a diamond on top:cheers:

[emagdnim]

lol whats with the diamond:lol::cheers:

[CULWULLA]

unreal

[drew.magoo]

Ok, that's probably another project. I'll change the title to prep unless somebody manages to clarify this.

[bendan]

Ok, that's probably another project. I'll change the title to prep unless somebody manages to clarify this.

That photo is of a residential development (3 or 4 towers of about 30 floors) at the intersection of Hongqi Nan Lu and Binshui Xi Dao in Nankai District.

The China 117 development is outside the outer ring (in Xiqing District), close to the Urban Construction University. I don't expect the tower to happen any time soon.

[luci203]

whats it gonna be made out of?
Probably glass and steel.

[Joy Machine]

whats it gonna be made out of?

cubic zirconia :lol:

[ZZ-II]

Probably glass and steel.

and concrete :)

[luci203]

and concrete :)
I think he asked about the "diamond", not the whole building. :dunno:

Nice, a 600m box with a diamond on top:cheers:
whats it gonna be made out of?

[buildmilehightower]

I get the feeling that the diamond on top could be a pendulum (counter weight) But obviously not.

Hopefully the view of top of the diamond is something like this:

http://slwa.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/diamond.jpg :cheers:

[NightKnight]

The diamond on the top should be an observatory.

[Jude12]

We need new renders fast! I would like to see more of the diamond.

[z0rg]

More renders. Seems like the diamond thing isn't final.

[ZZ-II]

thx for the tip.

for all who can't see the pic also:

http://i35.tinypic.com/2s7j22d.jpg

but this version is definitely not taller than 400m. IMO it looks like 200-300m

[z0rg]

^^ Those twins will be built next to the main tower :D

[luci203]

but this version is definitely not taller than 400m. IMO it looks like 200-300m
Not the towers... the skybridge is higher...

Petronas Towers skybridge is at ~170m, that skybridge look to be around 200m.

[Jude12]

Where's the diamond?

[buildmilehightower]

I prefer the design with the diamond which looks more original.

I heard that they're building this on the outskirt ... Why didn't they pick a better location :\

[Manitopiaaa]

Finally Tianjin is growing. Ive always wondered why Tianjin wasnt such a powerhouse as Shanghai or Hong Kong since its proximity to Beijing and coast but its now expanding, and what a way to start!

Another 600m craper in this world :nuts: :nuts: :nuts:!!!



China comes like a rocket crisis or not! :cheers:

[Clashman]

From the looks of those pictures, it looks like we were wrong on the location again. The building in the background looks like a school I taught at last year, which is even further out of the city.

I heard that they're building this on the outskirt ... Why didn't they pick a better location :\
Because this is a building that can MAKE a location... (a lot of developers will build around in the future)

Pudong was a slum when they started everything... :)

[skyscraper100]

the design with the diamond is better IMO
the new design is so simple

[1059860]

Love this building to the max! Diamond forgood

[bonivison]

The latest design is the best
Don't change anymore

[CULWULLA]

IVE ADDED THIS TO WORLDS TALL DIAGRAMS.
LOOKS FAB

[SilentStrike]

i dont think it'll ever be build actaully...

[Hollie Maea]

^^ Why? China seems to be the one place that hasn't been shelving projects.

[SilentStrike]

because if you read a page back, we havent even found the right LOCATION where the building will be built. And besides, it doesnt make any sense. a 600m tower in a place where there apparently are only buildings of max 30m height..

[BarbaricManchurian]

Umm, incorrect! They're building an entire new city with this tower as the centerpiece, that's why there isn't anything there yet. And truly, they found the right LOCATION, can you seriously not even see the pics on this page showing the construction site? It's confirmed on many websites, including the developer's own website that this is the place! Otherwise, why would the chinese forum photographers even photograph this construction site saying it is "China 117 tower"? Don't be so impatient, it's a medium term project, and will be completed by 2014. Just because they just started working doesn't mean it's not happening, lol :lol: :bash:. And if a page back we didn't know the location, we know it now because of the CONSTRUCTION PICS! This is so obvious it's like explaining basic facts to a baby :ohno:.

[SilentStrike]

construction pics can be for any project.

Ok, that's probably another project. I'll change the title to prep unless somebody manages to clarify this.

First wrong location

From the looks of those pictures, it looks like we were wrong on the location again. The building in the background looks like a school I taught at last year, which is even further out of the city.

then the new locations also seems to be wrong.

IDK, i just hope ur right barb, ur from tianjin so ud definetely know better than me.

[luci203]

would you say that it make any sense to build a 600m tower in this place ? (plus another two +400m, and many more)

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j286/h5forem/1990.jpg

[SilentStrike]

luci, u got me there :)

i still think it'd be nice near the tianjin ifc or that cbd they wanna build near the harbour, but ur right luci.

[z0rg]

Wow, luci203. You have put it into perspective. Now I'm more confident about this porject.

[BarbaricManchurian]

OK sorry for flaming you before, just that the photographer who takes these pics is an expert, and wouldn't take the pics and label them "China 117 tower" without knowing it (the construction site also says the name of the developer, Goldin properties, and this is Goldin's only development in Tianjin, so I'm pretty sure it's the correct site). I agree with you that construction of the main tower probably won't start for a few years still; they probably will focus on building the new city first and doing this last, so that's why there's such a far away completion date, 2014.

Other 600+ starting construction this year are expected to be completed around 2014.

From what you said it seems we are not even sure where the tower is?

no he said the exact oposite.

And it does look like its the right site.

Take a look at the board of this picture, it shows tianjin 117, so that should be the site.

Interesting project!!! I am looking forward to how it will turn out and how it will affect Tianjin. Tianjin looks like rural suburban community to me, is that correct?

[BarbaricManchurian]

^^ :lol: :lol: :lol:
lol, no way, Tianjin is a major city of 8 million; however, this tower is on the city's outskirts.

[CrazyAboutCities]

^^ Seriously?!? Wow amazing! I never heard of this city until recently. Do you have Tianjin skyline pictures?

[BarbaricManchurian]

The pictures in this thread will give you a start:

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=399893&page=9

My avatar shows a small part of the skyline, but the photo's too small to see much.

And finally, this was the downtown skyline in August 08 (other districts have skyscrapers forests, but downtown is mostly European colonial lowrise buildings):

[big-dog]

Interesting China has built many 400m+s, will build a couple of 600m+s, but there's no 500m+s on board.

[Assemblage23]

They were sooooo close with SWFC :cry:

[luci203]

Interesting China has built many 400m+s, will build a couple of 600m+s, but there's no 500m+s on board.
I belive they might downsize somme projects to +500m.

Pingan Centre or China 117 might be the ones.

There're several 500-600m proposals though, including a project for Tianjin that is being designed by SOM right now :D
